Some progress today: Removed the main connector from the ECU Traced out a few signals on the ECU connector: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Touran_Conversion#ECU_connector Successfully told a BeagleBone to do CAN Ordered parts for motor and transmission mating Taking delivery of the shaft coupler mayb...

Hi Fabian, 2. I use this one: https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/JTAG/ARM-USB-OCD-H/ . But there is apparently much cheaper ones (ST-Link) which work as well 4. No worries, no DC is injected. Only one phase is constant 0/1 while the other ones still produce sinusoidal output. So phase-to-phase ther...

Well, it seems that the speed isn't actually limited to 3000rpm but more like 6-7000rpm (will update the product description). Automatic field weakening is still unsupported due to the lack of a test vehicle. See thread linked below.

Very nice diy motor mounts.
what are you going to fill the empty space with?

There is two pinout versions, I selected the weird one (with full intention of course ) It's the 6001R part.

Yes with resistors R8 and R7 you can set the offset voltage. I tried with ltspice but I guess you can find the formula somewhere on the web. The input voltage into the Si8920 chip must be between -250mV to 250mV so goes negative also. The voltage between AOP and AON varies from -1.6 to 1.6V (8.1x ga...

Wow, that was quick. Can you come over and do mine
Is it again aluminium leftovers and a jigsaw for the adapter plate?

So, for completeness sake I'll repeat the Polo conversion here, the mother of all "Another Homebrew AC controller" conversions :) 152 LFP040AH in series for an idle voltage of ~500V 18.5kW Industrial ACIM (Lenze MFEMAXX132-22C1C) Homebrew AC controller (using 1200V, 400A IGBTs) Homebrew BM...

Yes, so 8100650056 it seems?

Love the comments below the article from guys who want the steam engine back (not gonna cite that sad uttering here)

So it turns out the Leaf motors are marked with a resolver calibration value that needed to be entered into the inverter whenever a mechanic swapped either motor or inverter. So on this thread I wanted to collect some of these numbers to find the system. They can be found on the bottom of the motor....

Cool. To me the Nissan outlet looks exactly the same. After all it's a TE part. https://www.te.com/global-en/product-1939561-3.html

Thanks Kevin, seems like replacing the Tesla logic board is a really bad idea

Yes, great read that article. And a great pleasure to be part of it
I wonder if we could slip "openinverter" into one of these articles or videos

Thanks Kevin, thats a nice reference for us

Why did they waste space for chargers as the drive unit could do it, I wonder

Wow, this is actually based on Maguire/Huebner tech? Whats the story?

Great stuff. One of the things that gives me pause for thought is the proprietary connector and the need to get the mating half. Looking at the housing there's an adaptor plate with a seal: Great stuff, would also work for the Leaf inverter which uses the same super secret connector. Would you like...

Wow, looks like the magic coal escaped! Thats why I was reluctant to just test out the Nissan BMS because I have no idea in which order the 4 inputs groups must be connected.

Yes, very true (as opposed to just true )

Phase voltage is not affected by the change. No, not the full torque is continued but the torque is now supposed to decline linear with speed instead of quadratic. As it is a "constant power" region the battery current will not increase, provided to configure fconst (not too close to fweak...

Decided to draft a release with the recent changes contributed by Nail and myself: Added possibility for a constant power region, set fslipconstmax=fslipmax if you don't want it! Using DMA for serial communication if possible (all boards but Rev1) Calculation of ilrms is now being done by averaging ...

Yes maybe the basics could be explained... in the wiki :D It's fairly simple as I installed the grapical editor. So to start, enter a URL like so https://openinverter.org/wiki/My_Page_Title Replace My_Page_Title by something meaningful It will take you to a new empty page. If you press "Create&...

Made a wiki page with findings so far: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Touran_Conversion

Everyone please feel free to so the same. We can then collect these pages on a "vehicles" landing page.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm getting close. I asked a very perfectionist mechanical engineer to help me and he makes a perfect coupler now. That takes time :) Today was the first time I powered up the Touran system since I removed the engine and ECU. So: STOP! check engine oil pressure, chec...

Actually I anticipate the changes in current and therefor pack voltage of the "host" (being the vehicle thats range extended) to be much slower than the 8 or 17kHz control loop can handle. Even putting your foot down hard will take like 50-100ms physically. I would follow the good 'ol appr...
